Max Chilton “lost all power”

After managing just 5 laps on Friday afternoon Max Chilton says it’s a “shame” he didn’t get more time out on track. It has been revealed that a “kill switch” caused Chilton’s engine to cut off, forcing Max Chilton to park his Marussia on the side-lines.

“I was just starting my first real pushing lap on the new primes and just went into Turn One and lost all power.”

“It was a safety thing and that’s the way it goes sometimes.This morning went really well – me and Jules matched each other’s pace and beat the Caterhams, which is ideal really.

“It’s just a shame that things like this set you back a little bit. It’s unfortunate but we might manage to get back out, you never know.”
